| ## Windows metadata reader |
| |
| The [windows-metadata](https://crates.io/crates/windows-metadata) crate provides a fast reader for Windows metadata files based on the ECMA-335 file format. |
| |
| * [Getting started](https://kennykerr.ca/rust-getting-started/) |
| * [Samples](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/tree/0.58.0/crates/samples) |
| * [Releases](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/releases) |
| |
| Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file: |
| |
| ```toml |
| [dependencies.windows-metadata] |
| version = "0.58" |
| ``` |
| |
| Read metadata as needed: |
| |
| ```rust,no_run |
| use windows_metadata::*; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| let bytes = std::fs::read(r#"C:\Windows\System32\WinMetadata\Windows.Foundation.winmd"#) |
| .expect("File not found"); |
| |
| let file = File::new(bytes).expect("Invalid metadata"); |
| |
| let reader = Reader::new(vec![file]); |
| |
| for def in reader.get_type_def("Windows.Foundation", "IAsyncInfo") { |
| println!("{}", def.name()); |
| |
| for method in def.methods() { |
| println!("{}", method.name()); |
| } |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
